Now the first pitcher to hit a grand slam in the World Series.

What NL pitcher won 25 or more games three times yet never won the Cy Young Award?

That would be the "Dominican Dandy" , Juan Marichal

Mark Buehrle of the Toronto Blue Jays just set a rather remarkable record. He's pitched 200 or more innings for the 14th consecutive year. He was tied with Cy Young at 13 consecutive years. :thumbsup: There is another part of this record that is equally impressive. Any guesses?

Fred Lynn-I remember watching that game.

Me too. I remember it was a Giant who served it up. Had to look up who it was. Is that a worthy trivia question? Who served up the only grand slam in All-Star history?

Double digit wins in each if those seasons.

 

[barebeaverlover]

Double digit wins in each if those seasons.

Good guess. I can give a hint as this is a little obscure. It has to do with the number 61.

You added 61 as your hint. I don't want to cheat and look up his record but I'd like to ask a hint question. Yes or no, is there one particular team or player that would be the answer this question?


I'd like to toss a new question out here while we ponder this. The American League chartered 8 franchises in 1901. 7 of these teams are still currently active though some of them have changed from their original locations. Name these 7 current teams. Bonus question: Name the one that is defunct.

A hint for the Buehrle question-he was again tied with Cy Young. There is a hint in your name.

As for your excellent question-Boston, Detroit, Chicago I know for sure. I'm going to let it marinate for a bit.

 

[feller469]

Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia A's, Chicago, New York Highlanders (?), St. Louis Browns (?),
